Welcome to Barbey Electronics online!

Barbey Electronics Corp was founded in 1916 by George D. Barbey as The George D. Barbey Company.  At that time, the company was a supplier of automotive batteries and ignitions.  He then got involved with the automobile radio.  Doing repairs to radios (and eventually televisions) George got the idea of stocking repair parts that he could use and also resell to other repairmen in the area (distribution).

In 1947, George built a warehouse moving the company from his garage.  At this time the company increased the supply of electronic parts and stopped doing repairs.  They also became an installer of sound and security systems.  

Carl Barbey, George’s son, assumed the helm in 1960 when Geroge passed away.  Carl had just gotten home from the military but had been working in the business many years prior.  In 1979 ownership passed from the Barbey family to Gary L. Gammell who transferred the name to Barbey Electronics Corp.  Gary’s background of over 20 years with Allied Electronics and Newark Electronics was in the industrial market.  The company changed direction from the sound and security to focus on the industrial electronics parts market.

In 1988, Barbey Electronics Corp joined the Genie Group, a group of independent electronic distributors across the United States.  This enabled them to combine their purchasing and marketing efforts to compete with the larger national distributors.  Today there are over 70 independent members with over 125 stocking locations.
